I got a refurbished E3D420VX a few months ago for $500 and have been very satisfied with it. The E3D470VX is just the model a few inches larger and with maybe something like one additional HDMI input, so I'd give this deal a thumbs up.

As for 3D content, I do have a few 3D Blu-rays, but most of it has been from PC gaming. I've played a lot of Just Cause 2 and emulated Xenoblade in 3D.

Individual apps for things like Twitter, Facebook, different news sources, streaming video, etc. Some come preloaded, others you can download. Since I use mine as a PC monitor this hasn't got much use past the first day, though.

That said, when actually using the 3D, you don't notice this at all. Well, unless you're reading small text, then you'll see the difference, but even then the total image that you see looks better in 3D than it does in 2D, simply because it has perceived depth.

Yeah, World of Warcraft comes to mind as a game where the actual world is great in 3D, but the halved vertical resolution hurts the large amount of text. Blowing up the UI settings to maximum helps a lot, though.

Actually, the Vizio does have wifi, and the LG has no internet connectivity at all (wifi or ethernet). and they are both 120hz, the LG just has Trumotion.. The only real upside to the LG is that it is LED and has the 2D-3D conversion option built in

But once again I wasn't aware you had to buy a 3D compatible blu-ray player so now i have to blow more money :/

If you already have a HTPC hooked up to a 3D TV, why not just get a BD drive for the HTPC? It should be cheaper than a new BD player unless you went with a BD burner.

Ref. the refurb VIZIO E3D470VX that was just delivered to my door Saturday from a Woot two weeks ago....
No SOUND, No Picture..just a "Cracked" looking image and a BUNCH of vertical lines...NOT GOOD! Needless to say- the packaging was in HORRIBLE condition when arrived and a dent in the speaker panel below the screen as well. This is the 2nd woot item I received in LESS than working condition. Buyer beware!!
This one is going BACK!!

Please be sure to contact service@woot.com with your issue! Sorry this happened to you!

Thanks for the post and research. Lots of pretty good reviews on the site and I have to say that the $70 difference is negligable with the warranty and return policy. I have purchased a 42 inch Vizio here before and was very happy with it; been going strong for a few months now and it did come with a manufacturer (refurb) 6 month warranty. For this kind of money though, I think I might go for the assurance of the warranty.

Anytime you can watch football in 3d it's amazing. The X games on ESPN 3D is great and just about any other sporting event. I watch 3D movies all the time and always get the 3D Blu-rays when available.

I also agree with you and appreciate you. 3D TV is really incredible and also best for gaming.

Received mine on Friday..set it up today...cracked screen (internally). I have heard before not to order TVs off Woot. And, I'm sure I'll have to pay the return shipping. Needless to say...I'll be leery of any other purchases from them.
